Ilsington, Newton Abbot, TQ13

LOCATION: 
Ilsington is a stunning location for those that love the great outdoors. It is very accessible but has a rural feel. To have all 368 square miles of Dartmoor National Park literally on your doorstep is really very special indeed. The beauty here is that you are still close to amenities, in just a few minutes' drive you can be down in Bovey Tracey where there are all the facilities and shops you could need. The location also boasts two very well-regarded pubs/restaurants. The Rock is a small establishment that has a wonderful reputation and has a great menu. Tinpickle & Rhum is part of the Moorland Hotel and again, does excellent food and is a nice spot to pop in for a drink. Both of these are just a short 5 minute drive away. The beautiful Ilsington Country House Hotel & Spa is a short walk away, along with a local shop and the local Primary School.

Fancy a change from the moors on a hot day? The beaches at Teignmouth and Shaldon are just 30 minutes away and the South Hams around 45 minutes. Those needing to travel can be at Newton Abbot Train Station in around 20 minutes, where there are services to London Paddington in just 2.5 hours.

SELLERS INSIGHT:
"From the first time we walked into this cottage we knew that it was going to be a lovely place to live for us, even though it certainly didn't look like it does now. We have spent many dusty days and scratching of heads to create what we consider to be a wonderful home. The rural location and being surrounded by countryside makes us feel like we are on holiday every day. The walks from the front door are incredible, a few minutes and you are in the middle of the idyllic Dartmoor National Park. We love our rear garden and the children have even created a 'secret garden' so they have their own escape too. We hope that whomever visits to view our home will get the same feeling that we have too."
